Almost all bio-chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the living organism are catalyzed by enzymes.

For Example: The conversion of Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate (1st Reaction of Glycolysis) is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase.

Glucose + ATP ---> Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP

Where are enzymes produced inside or outside the cells of an organism?

Certainly in animal cells, they have a 'sack' called a lysosome which is filled with enzymes that help to break down anything entering the cell via phagocytosis (the process where the cell 'eats' things).


What protein catalyst increases the rate of reaction?

Enzymes are the globular proteins which are responsible for altering the rate of reactions inside all organisms - i.e. they are biological catalysts.


Why is the active site on a cell important?

Active sites are located in enzymes inside the cells. this is where the substrate binds itself to the enzyme and the reaction takes place.


How is fission inside a powerplant controlled?

Fission in a power plant is controlled by using control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium that absorb neutrons, slowing down or stopping the chain reaction. By adjusting the position of these control rods, operators can regulate the rate of fission, maintaining a stable and controlled nuclear reaction to generate heat for electricity production.


Where enzymes are produced?

What do enzymes do in the cell?

Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions in the cell. They speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, allowing processes to happen more efficiently. Enzymes are specific in their actions and can be regulated to control the cell's chemical reactions.

What enzymes act inside the small intestine and what are the function of these enzymes?

enzymes are protien catalysts that spreed up digestion


Where do enzymes go after digestion are they excreted out of the body or reused if yes then please explain and I am talking about both extracellular as well as those which work inside cell.?

Enzymes are NOT used during the reaction. They just facilitate the reaction and help them go faster. It is true that there is turnover of the enzyme, as all enzymes are themselves, proteins. So there is continuous protein degradation and protein synthesis going on. But the enzymes themselves are NOT excreted from the body. Some of the protein degradation products may be excreted in the urine.
